For new MCAT - EK or TBR?

[dentistry4lifee]

For the new MCAT, do you guys recommend taking the EK course or TBR course this summer? Preferably asking those who took the new MCAT already!

Thanks for the response! So since you listed the Berkeley Review for the subjects, am I better off just taking the Berkeley Review course rather than the EK course?

Well do you live where they have a course?

If you live in CA you can take the Berkeley Review course, if not you should order their books and make a schedule. Personally, I think the EK course is outrageously expensive and their materials are lacking. The EK Full Length Exams, however, are fantastic.

I have only taken one; I felt that they were pretty much AAMC-like. The level of difficulty is the same as real AAMC test. They are worth it.

Good to know, thank you!

did TBR put out a Biochem book ?

TBR covers biochem in the bio II book.

Okay I knew that, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thanks!
What is the second best source for practice questions/passages specifically regarding Biochem/Amino Acid stuff besides TBR Biology Book 2??

I live in CA so I can take either TBR or EK course.
Other than biochem, what is EK lacking?
Is there a way to take their full exams without taking the course? Are they in their books?

EK has 3 exams you can get w/o the course. NextStep has 5, TPR has some as well. Take advantage of all the free diagnostics there are.
